1. The people of this age are distinguished
And cut off from one another except a few

2. If you hope or fear
Then you are esteemed by them

3. So when you are alone from the masses
You are neglected and despised

4. And your fortune is being withdrawn
Perhaps withdrawal will benefit you

5. And the pinnacle of your fortune is that
Superficial ties and curiosity leave you

6. And you have from self-effacement
A surplus that reaches the generous

7. For there the generous will thank you
And the stingy will not reject you
